<p>How many people get accepted by transfers and what is the %?</p>
<p>I don’t know the stats, but I know it seems much easier than getting in as a new freshman, i’m instate, nontraditional, barely 3.0 (was accepted while I was at 2.85 ish), appalachian, ACT 26, junior standing, wrote a sincere, polished but real essay explaining the impact that my geographic location has on the entire learning sytem here and its resulting negative force on my own education(which is absolutely the truth!) so, for you or anyone else kicking themselves for bad scores, perhaps bad choices…suck it up and keep it real, the reader will know if you are full of BS, but I am proof that your past can stay in your past :), …good luck to you, if I can get in, trust me, anyone who truly desires that acceptance letter can get it :)…They may have let me in just for having the ballz to try it,lol</p>
<p>Like urpalmaryann00, I don’t know the exact numbers, but it is TONS easier to get into OSU as a transfer than as an incoming freshman. Again, like urpalmaryann00, I got accepted with a GPA of 2.85, and with the number of credits that I was transferring with, I was not required to give them my ACT score. To me, it seems that with transfer students the school takes grades into less consideration and pays more attention to what you can bring to the school. I wrote and very detailed and personable essay that really highlighted how I feel about the school, why I want to go there over any school anywhere, and how I feel like my previous college experience will make me a contributing member of the school. Because my grades were only so-so at best, I think my acceptance was due to how I presented myself to the school. When I opened that acceptance letter, printed on gorgeous water-marked paper with ink of the utmost in quality, I thought that they for sure goofed and accept me on accident, and it still seems unreal that they picked me given how strict they can be when accepting incoming freshman. when you write you essay, don’t kiss ass like your trying to appease an upset girlfriend, instead, write to them as if they were someone who you held in high regard and had the uttermost respect for. </p>
<p>If you have somewhat decent grades and a lot of ambition, you will have a good chance of being accepted and I wouldn’t worry about percentages and figures like that.</p>
<p>I think it’s just that most universities want students who will be successful. High school seniors with low stats haven’t proven that they can make it in a college atmosphere. However, if a student has already attended another college with decent grades, they have shown that they can handle college work and are more likely to be accepted.</p>
